Children's Hospital Wants To Restrict Young Visitors To Keep Flu At Bay

This is important news since 185 pediatric deaths related to influenza were reported to the CDC during the 2017-18 flu season.

The vaccine you get may also help to protect others.

According to the study, the seasonal flu vaccine reduced influenza-related hospitalizations among patients with COPD by 37.5% (95% confidence interval, 27.3% to 46.2%) compared with unvaccinated patients.

Those in at-risk groups include people aged 65 and over, pregnant women and people with chronic illness.

That's right. Fewer than half of us got a flu shot even though we have more people covered by insurance and Medicaid expansion, and you can hardly walk into a drug store or supermarket pharmacy area that isn't touting the availability of flu shots - typically with no co-pay.
